About
Yumi Lemaster, LCSW, brings 13 years of clinical practice and a background as a retired Army social worker to her therapeutic work. She centers the relationship with each person, emphasizing empathy, listening, and collaborative goal-setting. Her approach invites clients to guide the focus of sessions while she offers evidence-based tools and psychoeducation to support growth and coping.
She has worked with service members on concerns such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, marital issues, substance use, domestic violence intervention, parenting skills, and adjustment challenges. Her work includes offering coping strategies, self-reflective exercises, and practical materials for skill practice between sessions.
Lemaster values a two-way therapeutic process in which feedback is used to shape treatment. She aims to help people find inner strength and increased well-being by beginning where they feel they need to start and by supporting steady practice of new skills over time.

How online sessions are structured
Online sessions focus on collaborative, skills-based work and reflective exploration. Yumi uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Attachment-based ideas are used to explore relationship patterns and how early relational experiences influence current connections. Sessions are client-centered, so goals and pacing are guided by the person in therapy while the clinician offers structured exercises, homework, and psychoeducation as needed.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats are presented as options so people can choose the ways of working that best fit their needs and daily life.
